quick Google spider question
 

Ok search engine fans.
I have a quick question
Does the google spider come from google.com
or does he have his own ip/domain?

thanks in advance

I believe it has it's own ip... and at lest a couple ip's at that too...
cloaking?

Thanks for the tip

The spider formerly known as Backrub has changed to Google Bot. Backrub is 100% defunct.
Also here is what we believe to be someone at the keyboard. dsl.google.com Mozilla/4.51 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.5-15 i686) 207.88.29.130 (a good ip# to know). Their main googlebot routers: 209.185.253.166 switch2.googlebot.com, 209.185.108.136 switch.google.com
